Market Rasen

Racing weather and inspection latest news


Tuesday's jumps fixture at Market Rasen has been abandoned due to waterlogged ground.

The seven-race card was due to feature the Unibet Middle Distance Series Veterans' Handicap Chase (Qualifier) but a statement posted to the course's social media accounts on Monday afternoon indicated the meeting had been called off.

It read: "Following 42mm of rain on Saturday sections of the track remain unraceable.

"With the river level still being above our drainage outlets, there is unfortunately insufficient time for the necessary improvement to occur to allow racing to proceed safely. As a result, tomorrow's race meeting has been abandoned.

"All General Admission tickets will be refunded automatically. Our team will contact hospitality guests directly.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and look forward to welcoming everyone for racing on
Sunday March 15."

There are no such concerns ahead of Sandown's big Saturday meeting where the going is Soft, Good to Soft in places on the hurdles course and Good to Soft, Soft in places on the chase course.

The weekend highlight at the Esher venue in the Betfair Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle, while looking further ahead to the four-day Cheltenham Festival starting next Tuesday (March 10), the going at Prestbury Park was described as Soft following an 11:00am update on Monday.
